The Wetumpka Depot Players, now in their 36th year, exist with the mission to entertain, educate and reach out to the community. That mission is fulfilled by countless volunteers who work tirelessly to support the area's oldest community theatre. Wetumpka Boy Scout, Clayton Wells Hutsler from Wetumpka Troop 50, recently received the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout after completing a project that benefited the Wetumpka Depot Players.

Wells identified the need for more storage and organization at the Depot's offsite storage facility that houses costumes and props from productions over the last 30 years. He put in over 60 hours of work to build shelving and recruited volunteer support to help for another 180 hours.

"We are thrilled with the results of Well's project," said Kristy Meanor, Executive Director. "The shelving units that Wells built and the amount of organization he achieved during his project have been a real 'game changer' for us. It was impressive to see the Scouting community come out to support Wells. We can't thank them enough for working to make our communities a stronger place to work and play."

For more information on how to volunteer and be a part of the Depot Players community call 334.868.1440. For ticket information and all show schedules visit wetumpkadepot.com. The theatre is located at 300 S Main St in historic downtown Wetumpka.
